American Society of Biological Chemists Symposium, New Orleans, 4 June 1980

This series covers Rodbell's extensive professional travel and speaking engagements. Divided into two subseries to reflect Rodbell's filing system, materials consist of correspondence, programs, travel itineraries, and other ephemera related to conferences and presentations. The first subseries, arranged chronologically, contains files on specific conferences attended by Rodbell. These materials are strongest in the late-1970s and late-1990s, but provide a good understanding of the busy lecture schedule kept by Rodbell. A few files are accompanied by large posters from the event (kept with the oversize materials), and contained photographs which were moved to the photographic series. The smaller second subseries contains more general travel files, covering an array of professional trips, personal travel, and materials relating to various lectures attended by Rodbell during the late-1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, this series contains few of Rodbell's conference papers, remarks, or reflections. Apart from Rodbell's 1994 Nobel Prize trip to Sweden (contained in the Nobel Prize, honorary degrees and other awards series), this series chronicles his professional activities as a lecturer, moderator, and conference attendee.
